Please add Affine support

[Anazark]

Hello, please consider adding support for Affine which is an open-source note-taking app
Unfortunately (or perhaps intentionally), there is no way to batch export all notes in universal formats (txt, pdf, markdown) in one go, only individual markdown export by hand or a backup of all notes in a ".affine" file

Here's an example file
Demo Workspace.affine.zip

Thanks in advance

Hi, thanks for the request. I won't be coding in the next week. Afterwards I will take a look at the backup.

I took a quick look. The good news is that it's a machine readable database (probably SQLite). The bad news is that a good amount of reverse engineering is needed to understand and parse this database. I would like to implement it in Jimmy, but likely not soon, since it will need much time.

I also checked for other scripts that could do the conversion, but found only a few threads for now:

• ​Mass Export of Workspace toeverything/AFFiNE#6409
• https://community.affine.pro/c/feature-requests/full-workspace-export-to-zip-or-markdown

I added experimental support for affine in release 1.1.22. It's based on the example file. On the command line, it can be used like jimmy-linux cli "Demo Workspace.affine" --format affine.

Feel free to open another ticket if there are issues.
